Chapter 92: Undercurrent (2)
Changfeng didn't expect that they had already figured out their details clearly and said unnaturally: "This, Piaoxue wants to watch the courtesan competition and leave, so how about leaving Brother Duan's beauty next time?"
Duan Caiyan looked disappointed and said quietly: "Brother Nalan is unwilling to make friends with A Cai?"
"No, no." Changfeng quickly rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Duan Fengcai has seen Piaoxue in Lianyue Tower. How could such a friend Piaoxue not be willing to make friends?"
"Why did Brother Nalan be so unwilling to leave him alone for a day or two?" Duan Caiyan asked innocently.
"Young Master, since Mr. Duan sincerely invites you, you might as well stay for two days. Just take care of the matter here by your wife and Lao Huai." Guo Huai said from somewhere.
I don’t know what stimulated Duan Caiyan, but her face suddenly pulled down and said, “Since Brother Nalan’s butler has said that, do you have any worries about Brother Nalan?”
Changfeng secretly blamed Guo Huai for being troubled in his heart. There was no good thing every time he appeared, but now he had no choice but to deal with him. Who told him that his martial arts had not been restored and he could only be slaughtered.
Seeing Changfeng agreeing in great pain, Duan Caiyan was a little happy and a little disappointed. She was happy that she had the opportunity to be alone with Changfeng, and she was disappointed that she had no choice but to stay for two days.
Changfeng climbed Duan Caiyan to pick up his carriage. He was helpless. He didn't know how long he had walked, but he heard the coachman coming. Changfeng woke up from his sleepiness and climbed out of the carriage. What a big manor. The garden had small bridges, flowing water, rockery and clear springs, and all kinds of strange flowers and plants, fighting for beauty. Especially the peonies in the garden, each of which was a sky-high price outside. This little woman turned out to be so rich and owned such a big manor. I'm afraid she was the richest man in the country of Dian. Changfeng kept thinking in his heart.
"Young Master, our young master invites you to the peony pavilion to watch the peony pavilion." Two beautiful maids walked to Changfeng and bowed beside him.
"Two girls are polite, please lead the way." Changfeng was shocked, but he was able to maintain his demeanor.
Changfeng was secretly alert in his heart that Duan Acai's woman seemed not from an ordinary family. Judging from the momentum of the manor, she could imagine her wealth. Why didn't she continue to raise the price after Guo Huai called 20,000 taels that night? This is a woman with mystery everywhere. What is her identity? Changfeng felt extremely curious in his heart.
"Brother Nalan, please sit down!" Duan Acai changed into a good robe embroidered by Hailing at this time, and became more handsome and elegant in the breeze.
"Brother Duan's manor is so bold. Piaoxue is ashamed of that he doesn't know that Brother Duan is rich!" Changfeng praised first.
Duan Caiyan's mouth opened slightly, and a sweet smile was like a peony blooming, indescribable charm, and it was breathtaking. Changfeng couldn't help but be stunned. If she was a man, she would have fascinated thousands of girls, but even if she was a woman, this smile could be reversed for life. Changfeng's heart couldn't help but move, and a strange emotion dissipated in his heart.
"Brother Nalan can cost more than 100,000 taels of silver at one move. How can a mere manor get into your eyes?" Duan Caiyan chuckled and fought back.
"Are Brother Duan unhappy Piaoxue redeems Nongyue?" Changfeng tentatively said that the reason they knew was because of Nongyue's incident, and he wanted to open a breakthrough from here.
"Why not be happy about A Cai, a talented man and beautiful woman?" Although Duan Caiyan was a little jealous in her heart that Nong Yue could be with Changfeng at any time, she had to admit that Nong Yue and Changfeng were very compatible.
"Brother Duan sincerely invites Piaoxue over here, probably it's not aimless, right?" Changfeng planned to go straight in one go.
Duan Caiyan secretly praised Changfeng's heart and courage in her heart, pointing to the blooming peonies in the garden and said, "Brother Nalan thinks what do you think of the peonies in Acai's garden?"
"Piaoxue has lived on the grassland since she was a child and knows nothing about the flowers and plants in the south. However, this peony looks elegant and luxurious and beautiful." Changfeng always pays attention to his identity.
What a Mo Changfeng, with such a delicate mind, no wonder she can be the deputy of Shanglou Wuyun. Such a person is worthy of being her husband. If she can capture this person's heart, she will not need to worry about those annoying state affairs in the future. Such things should be worried by men. Duan Xin is just her daughter, and Dian Kingdom will naturally be inherited by her in the future. Therefore, she has received the education of the emperor since she was a child. For a woman, her extremely boring childhood has been a heavy burden until now. She longs for a shoulder to support herself, otherwise one day she will really step down. Duan Xin is ambitious, which aggravates her inner conflicts. She cannot go against her father's wishes, and also seeks her own happiness. She is the most painful thing to be in the middle.
"Brother Nalan's outspokenness really made Acai see the straightforwardness of the grassland man." Duan Caiyan exclaimed.
Changfeng's face became slightly hot and said, "Brother Duan laughed, Piaoxue was just telling the truth."
"I wonder if Brother Nalan has a wife at home?" Duan Caiyan knew that even if he redeems Nongyue, Nongyue could only be regarded as a concubine. She didn't mind how many concubines a man had, but she could only have one wife. This is how her father Duan Xin was. Her mother was the queen. No matter how much other women loved her, she could only be the concubine.
Changfeng didn't understand why she suddenly asked this question, and said in surprise: "There are two wives in the house, why did Brother Duan ask that?" Changfeng answered the truth.
Naturally, many women like such an excellent man. Duan Caiyan felt sad. He had all his wives and concubines. No wonder he was in a hurry to leave. He didn't plan to stay and take a look at him. He sorted out his emotions and said, "Acai just asked casually, Brother Nalan, don't be surprised!"
"Oh." Changfeng agreed, but his heart was filled with huge waves. A woman asked her if she had a wife. What does this mean? Could it be that A Cai fell in love with her in this passage? She is really not an ordinary narcissism? He could think of this reason. Maybe he just asked casually. What did he do with suspicion? After a long time, he had a little closer to Guo Huai's way of thinking about the problem. No matter what, he should first think about it in his heart if it is related to him and then talk about it after confirming that it doesn't matter.
"Let's go, how about taking Brother Nalan to visit this manor?" Duan Caiyan put down a burden in her heart. She couldn't be a couple, and it was good to be friends. The information shows that he is a person with a clear distinction between grievances. If he treats him sincerely, he will treat himself sincerely, although there are many secrets between the two that have not been solved.
Changfeng was very happy, and he also wanted to visit. Now with the owner, he was willing to say, "Okay, Piaoxue was just about to visit. The beautiful scenery here will never be seen on the grassland for the rest of his life!"
Changfeng followed Duan Caiyan while walking and listened to her introducing the flowers and plants in the garden, especially peony flowers. Duan Caiyan introduced them in detail. She seemed to have a preference for peony flowers. Changfeng thought to himself, but Changfeng listened carefully. He would not miss the opportunity to see the eyes and see the future.
There are many varieties of peony flowers, and the petals have different colors, especially the peony flowers blooming on them, which makes Changfeng sigh at the wonders of creation in the world. Human beings have superb skills and it has indeed taken Duan Caiyan a lot of efforts to cultivate these abnormal varieties.
Changfeng couldn't help but ask, "Brother Duan has spent a lot of effort here. It's been a while since Piaoxue came to Yunnan Jing. There are so many varieties, and this is the first time I have seen the extremely rare peony."
When Duan Caiyan talked about peonies, her eyes immediately burst into bright colors and said excitedly: "Acai has no other preferences, she likes to plant peonies. These are all the efforts of Acai for more than ten years. If Brother Nalan likes any pot, Acai can give it to you."
Changfeng hurriedly refused: "How can that be done? A gentleman does not win over what others like, and Piaoxue has no intention of this."
"Does Brother Nalan look down on the peonies here in Acai?" Duan Caiyan felt a little unhappy when she heard that he refused to give her flowers. Many people couldn't ask for something. He didn't want it. She was the princess of Dian Kingdom and the future ruler of Dian Kingdom.
Changfeng knew that she had misunderstood her intentions and hurriedly said, "The peony flowers here are all rare products. If Brother Duan gives them, Piaoxue is not unkind to be grateful. However, the grassland is a bitter and cold place, and such a delicate flower may not survive there. If Piaoxue accepts Brother Duan's gift, then the flower will not be taken care of in the end and dies in the grassland. Wouldn't it be disappointing Brother Duan's kindness?"
This reason is indeed very reasonable. Duan Caiyan put down the displeasure in her heart and said, "It's still Brother Nalan who thought about it carefully, A Cai was negligent."
Changfeng saw that she accepted her explanation and said, "Piaoxue doesn't understand flowers either. You can appreciate them. If Piaoxue wants to serve these beautiful and delicate flowers, I'm afraid she won't be able to do anything."
"Brother Nalan looked at the peony here in Acai. Which one can best be known as the king of flowers?" Duan Caiyan forgot the unhappiness just now and pointed to the peony flower in front of her and asked Changfengdao.
Changfeng looked along her fingers and a bright red peony broke into his eyes. This peony was so bright red, just like blood stained, and it was so beautiful that it was so beautiful that it stood out among so many peony flowers. Changfeng also walked by his feelings. He felt that this blood-dropped peony had the style of a king. He pointed at it and said, "Piaoxue felt that this blood-red peony looked the most like a king!"
Duan Caiyan's head was a loud "buzzing" sound. This was the blood peony she quietly participated in the courtesan competition two years ago. It was also her favorite peony. Although it was single in color, it was this single blood that deeply touched everyone and made her the mysterious courtesan competition. Duan Caiyan was the mysterious disappearing courtesan, and she was the princess of the Dian Kingdom today. This is why she had to spend money to buy the Chuye of Nongyue. Because if it weren't for her appearance, Nongyue would have been the courtesan of that class. She successfully escaped from the sea of suffering. She harmed her, so she wanted to save her. However, although she was rich and had countless money, the highest limit she could use was only 10,000 taels.
The other five thousand taels were her private money. It was precisely because of this brief encounter that she met the man around her. She was interested first, and then when she saw him helping Yue redeem her body, she developed a slight affection for him. She felt that he was not a man who had abandoned the secrets after all. The more she dug out the secret behind him, the deeper she fell into it. There was an unaware temperament in him that attracted him and made her unable to extricate herself. If Changfeng knew that this was the strange true energy that was quietly changing his temperament, I wonder if he would sack his martial arts and practice it again. But now it might not work. This temperament has slowly formed. Even if he sacked his martial arts, this temperament will not disappear. Please be blessed!
He actually fell in love with the same peony at first sight, Duan Caiyan's face flushed and said, "Brother Nalan is indeed a wise eye. This blood peony is Acai's favorite. If Brother Nalan likes it, Acai can give it to him, but it is not for Brother Nalan to bring it back to the grassland, but it is stored here in Acai. Brother Nalan can come to see anytime?"
How could Changfeng want to give her the flower of her beloved? Although she took all the situation into consideration, Changfeng still couldn't accept it: "How could Piaoxue want such a precious flower?"
"So, Brother Nalan insisted on refusing Acai's kindness." Duan Caiyan's princess tempered up. Giving this peony to her is a lifelong entrusting. She believed that this was given to her husband by God. No matter how many wives and concubines he had, she would be determined to be his wife.
Changfeng didn't know about Duan Caiyan's change in his heart. He knew that if he didn't agree, he would probably anger the other party. Anyway, Hua was still with her, and she was not the real master, so she would not lose anything after agreeing. So he sighed and said, "That Piaoxue is more respectful than obedience."
When Duan Caiyan saw the wind agreeing, she was immediately overjoyed and a shy smile appeared on her face, as if things had been settled.
Changfeng didn't know Duan Caiyan's thoughts. Looking at her, she seemed to have a very happy smile. She was also stunned. Is it so happy to give someone what she loves? It's really a woman's heart, a needle under the sea!
Changfeng followed this section of A Cai and found a strange phenomenon, that is, the maid and servant in the garden walked around Duan A Cai when they saw Duan A Cai, and they didn't even dare to look up at her. It seemed that this place was mysterious enough. Changfeng became suspicious of the identity of this little woman. What was the purpose of her having so much trouble to get to know her? She wouldn't really fall in love with her as she thought in her heart, right?
Duan Caiyan took care of Changfeng very thoughtfully. Not only did she host a banquet to entertain him at night, but she also walked along the garden. Finally, she arranged Changfeng to live in an elegant and unique room. With such affection, Changfeng was a little at a loss.
With a loud bang, a valuable celadon tea cup merged with the earth, and his master was so angry that he said: "What the hell is going on? Why did Caiyan, this bitch, hook up with that Nalan Piaoxue?"
The servants knelt in front of him and shivered, not daring to answer the angry master.
"You guys tell me what's going on, tell me what's going on." The master said angrily.
After a while, a slightly more courageous servant raised his head and said, "The young ones don't know. Today, Princess Caiyan suddenly went to Tongfu Inn and invited Nalan Piaoxue to the manor outside the city as a guest. The other young ones knew nothing!"
"What are you doing for? I can't find out these trivial matters. What is the use of this young master to raise you?" The master slapped the person who replied angrily and loudly.
The servant was obviously the authority of the master, and did not dare to disobey it at all. He silently endured this palm and did not dare to say anything more.
Others don’t know that it was the identity of the princess, but Mr. Wen knew that, suddenly a Nalan Piaoxue appeared and disrupted his plan. His handsome face turned red with anger, and the blue veins on his neck were prominent. There was no image of a gentle and elegant Mr. Wen. At this time, he was a wild beast, a wolf that chose people to eat.
Wu Lin only had Wen Xue in his heart, so he naturally knew about this, but it was not him who was anxious, but his uncle Wu Gong.
There is a forest in the south of the city, a man covered in black cloth is waiting for his subordinates to give his body a reward. His figure is obviously one head taller than an ordinary person and blends with the night. Without sharp eyesight, he cannot find the existence of this person.
Push and knelt gently behind him and said, "Young Master, Princess Caiyan suddenly invited Nalan Piaoxue back to her manor today."
"Have you found out Nalan Piaoxue's true identity?"
"I only found out that he was Mo Changfeng, the deputy commander of Lou Wuyun, who was hunted by the True Lord of the Netherworld a few days ago. As for what his identity is, I haven't found out yet."
"Thank you for your hard work, it's not easy to find these things. I'll write down your efforts this time and go."
The man who was kneeling stood up and used his light skills to disappear in the woods. This young master was naturally the young master of the Demon Sect who had come out of the mountain mysteriously recently. He stayed for a while and left.
Changfeng himself didn't know that he had been pushed to the forefront, and he was thinking about how to take off this batch of medicinal materials after returning to Xindao and sell them for a good price.
Since Changfeng left, the careful Ding Chongshan immediately discovered that there were more people monitoring his yard, and there were also some experts, and more than a group of people. He discussed with Guo Huai and decided to use static to control their purpose to see what they had. He had worked so hard to deal with them.
Wen Yu is now very troubled. His relationship with Wen Xue is stagnant. The prince Lou Jian from Loulan is not at ease. The prince Huahua actually fell in love with Wen Xue and actually proposed to ask Wen Yu to arrange for Wen Xue to serve him. Fortunately, Wen Xue has the relationship with her father, so Lou Jian dares not act recklessly, but it is no secret that he and Lou Jian are in a bad mood. The ambassador began to regret why he took such a mission. Shui Ningxin didn't chase him, and he was so trapped in a quagmire that he couldn't escape.
Nong Yue also knew that Changfeng was invited by a handsome young man named Duan Acai to visit her home. Without Changfeng around her, she couldn't lift her whole body and felt empty. She didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Guo Huai and others were very nice to her and called her "Young Lady" when they met, which made her very satisfied. She lived a comfortable life without leaving home.
Official news came from the palace that the princess will openly select the princess after the Huagu Competition. As long as you pass the literary and martial arts, you can participate. The children of aristocratic families do not need to pass the imperial examination and enter the selection directly. Such a huge change in conditions made many people excited. They originally thought they were just coming to see the lively, but now they have the opportunity to run for the election. Everyone has a high mood. After the news came out, more people flocked to Dianjing to see the peerless style of the second beauty in the martial arts world.
Although there are many people, only a dozen people are capable. Among them, in the minds of the people of Dian, the third prince of Wen Xiang's family has the highest voice. The third prince of Wen and the military are all talented. The people of the Chinese hope that the princess can marry the best people in the country, so those who support the talented people are temporarily ranked first.
In contrast, there are fewer people paying attention to the courtesan competition. However, this courtesan competition borrowed the style of choosing a princess to choose a princess, which is also extremely popular, because it was held before the princess chose a princess and was also sought after by many people. It was the most eye-catching one in the courtesan competition and the most people participated in it.
The Wen family and the Wu family secretly competed for each other in the courtesan competition. The Wen family secretly supported a girl. In comparison, the Wen family was a little stronger. The Wu family was at a disadvantage, but whoever was defeated can't make any assertions now.
As for the peony flowers participating in the competition, it is strictly confidential to each company. Various speculations are widely circulated on the market. Until the last moment, no one knows who can win.
The gambling house can be regarded as one of the pillar industries of Dianjing. Major markets are open and the odds are renewed every day. The gamblers' greedy eyes can be seen everywhere. This is really a city that is full of people. I really don't understand that Duan Xin can completely control such an unstable capital. The Iron Bowl policy is definitely inseparable. Perhaps there may be other means to hide it, and people have not discovered it.
